On the whole, users are positive about the SLW MG5132. Many say that they made a choice in favor of Schaub after talking with consultants. The rejection of the Bosch, LG, Electrolux and even Samung in favor of a little-known brand confirms that the manufacturer offers ideal characteristics at a reasonable cost.

And this means that there can be a difference between the quality of the washers released in the “historical homeland” and “away”. Our consumers, taught by experience, prefer to pay attention to the country of assembly, preferring Germany.
- On the official website, you can read the operating instructions for each model.
- Many users purchased their "Shaubs" on the "tip" of consultants, sellers in stores, as well as on the basis of expert advice and feedback.
Schaub Lawrence is a newcomer to the Russian market of washing machines, but he knows a lot about SMA production. This German brand with a century and a half history undoubtedly deserves the attention of our consumers.
